NatWest | Important Notification!

Catching up on some phishing emails after my holiday! Here goes with one received yesterday targetting the NatWest.

This one has an id in the subject and in the link - they are obviously tracking their recipients well. The actual target URL is http://natwest.com.ready2online.st. ready2online.st appears in a couple of Google searches for 'suspected' phishing emails.

This one is also just sent to the one email address and within the to: field displays the first part of the email address. But don't trust it.
